I did not have an engagement ring. I'm not really a jewelry person. Instead I opted to wear my wedding ring as the engagement ring. We had a local jewelry maker make the rings. I think the cost worked out to be $150 for both.

That's true. They'd probably sound more justified using those excuses for the classroom setting...girls are a distraction to the learning experience, blah blah blah...but it really doesn't make sense for formal functions where you don't really have to concentrate on schoolwork. In those cases it really is blatantly to…

My NJ-based public school had some stupid dress codes too. I used to pin small squares of fabric to my tank tops to censor my shoulders. My teachers hated it, but technically my shoulders were hidden. When I was in high school, I had to pic up my brother once from his middle school. I was wearing a short tank top and…

Just make a dress with big circles around the boobs, but with an arrow pointing upwards. To me, that says, I am a woman, but my face is up here.

Unfortunately we all know that those were probably some of the nicer tweets from the Obama haters.. But, gotta tell that dude...I'm sure Obama got your sarcasm, that's probably why he made fun of it.

I"ve actually only seen a couple of episodes. My husband stumbled upon it one day and sent me the Abbi and Ilana one.

I think closest we'll ever come is watching their episode of Getting Doug With High.

But they have Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker figures...both with completely different political ideologies.

Thank you for the imagery of a duckling with a bandage around its tiny head trying to pick out thrift store dress shirts. I will cherish it always.

I've read that person's post a couple of times and still don't understand what the outrage is supposed to be. Are there words missing?

Occasionally I have been alone in my living room, watching TV and commenting about whatever I am watching to my cat . Me: "Why the hell would she go upstairs? The front door is wide open?" My cat: (stares at my hand, contemplating biting it) Me: "Pay attention to the movie! I'm not going to repeat it" My cat: (attacks…

LOL! My feelings exactly. Although raisin quality has improved since the raisins I was forced to eat in the 80's, they still suck in baking IMO

What's worse, the smell of pot or the smell of fresh paint? Fresh paint, even the low fumes kind, gives me terrible headaches.

This is why I only donate to secular charities

His last tweet was:

Ugh, yeah. I have a big family and a lot of cousins, so I asked my mom to spread the news that I could not invite any cousins because I didn't want to play favorites and I was paying for my whole wedding. So our invitations were made out directly to the individuals, no room for plus one-ing it. One Aunt decided to add…

I am lucky enough to not live in close proximity to most of my exes. I have never seen any of them again after we broke up, with the exception of one. We dated for maybe a month before I broke it off. I was transferring to a new college, so I said let's just be friends. And I thought we were, until maybe 8 months when…

Now I really owe albino humans an apology, I was thinking of albino cats' eyes. Damn my cat-influenced brain.

It'd be better if she went the opposite route, got red eye contacts, dyed her hair white, powdered her skin...just once I'd like to see one of these "blackface sounds like a good idea" people just go albino instead. They'd probably get a better understanding of being different, since no white person who has "darkened…

Yeah, you should hear my Lutheran MIL talk about the time she met a really nice Jewish lady! And she was funny too!
